Cherry's Index
Evidence-of-quality score, not a cup score. Methodology

Noted
Sparse signal
Confidence2 of 7 signals on file
Score is heavily shrunk toward 50; treat as a placeholder until more sources arrive.
How confidence affects the score
Coverage measures signal availability, not cup quality. This coffee has 23% of the signal universe on file. Missing sources are dropped, remaining weights are renormalized, and the result is shrunk toward a neutral 50 baseline by 43% so one thin signal cannot carry the score on its own.
The math on file: renormalized base 73.7 shrunk to 63.6 + bonuses = 66.

About Dukes Coffee Roasters
Community reputation · Reddit
Well-regarded· sentiment 72/100
Dukes Coffee Roasters is recognized as a notable Australian specialty roaster, though community opinions on their current form are mixed. While one user noted they used to love Dukes but had a less satisfying experience with imported beans, others pointed out that their city location can be hit-or-miss and prone to tourist crowds. However, their international shipping promotions (such as free international shipping to the US and Asia) draw positive attention and interest from overseas coffee enthusiasts.
